  • Project Description
    National Pressed Metal, contracting arm of the Australian Pressed Metal Group worked closely with builder Built and the Victorian Heritage Department on the restoration of Flinders Street Train Station. Teams from Melbourne Pressed Metal and Adelaide Pressed Metal worked together to fully restore the verandah awning of Flinders Street Train Station running the full length of Flinders Street. Complete restoration and replacement was required with approximately 70% of original timber framing being replaced with new oregon timber. Complete replacement of the capital awning cladding and lower neck mould was completed with an infill of panel design 'Candy Stripe Ripple' pressed from heritage galv and pre primed with Dulux Luxaprime. Samples were made to ensure an exact profile fit before being put into production. Penetrations were cut under the verandah to allow for rain heads.
